But by the same token, these are exciting times for us. No-one has any doubt that in 2029 the Church of England in South Yorkshire and the East Riding will look very different from the way it is now — but equally no- one is yet very clear about the shape it will take. Our plan is an ambitious one and we are hungry for change. We are asking tough questions. Will the whole people of God be mobilised for the whole mission of God? What will morale be like, among key lay and ordained leaders? Will attendance figures be in decline or growing? Will there be more stipendiary incumbents or fewer? Will there be more congregations or fewer? Will we raise up a dynamic community of ‘Lights for Christ’? Will we grow a praying community of 2025 by 2025? These questions were already pressing ones for us before the present pandemic: they will surely be even more urgent for us now.

HISTORY OF PEAT EXPLOITATION 2.1 Unrefined peat fuel from Thorne Waste In 1626, during the reign of Charles I, an agreement was drawn up between the Crown and a Dutch entrepreneur Cornelius Vermyuden, to undertake the drainage of Hatfield Chase. The chase and its purlieus stretched from the River Aire in the north to Bawtry and north Nottinghamshire in the south, and from near Doncaster in the west to the rivers Don, Torne and Idle which form the boundary with Lincolnshire. The Isle of Axholme lies to the east, extending as far as the River Trent. The main causes of flooding were the meandering, sluggish courses of the Rivers Don, Torne and Idle, which could not cope with heavy rains in their western catchments. In addition, the River Trent, the main outlet for the three rivers, and the Don itself, were strongly tidal. To the north lay the tidal rivers Ouse and Aire and the smaller River Went.

My mother was 18 years old at the time and unmarried. My father disappeared before I was born. So I took my mother’s surname, which was Schiller. My birth cer- tificate shows that I was born John Schiller on 6 August 1934 in Reading, Berkshire. My mother had no means to raise me, so when I was two weeks old I was handed over to the social welfare service in Reading. ey placed me in the homes of foster-parents. Initial arrangements were unsatisfactory. But when I was about 6 months old I was placed under the responsibility of a Mrs. Bessie May Sykes, and I remained with Mrs. Sykes until I flew from the nest at the age of 18. Mrs. Sykes had separated several years earlier from her husband Bernard Sykes so I had no fos- ter-father. She had lived with him for some 20 years in the village of North Aston, Oxfordshire. From such inauspicious beginnings Mrs. Sykes nurtured and supported me very well, for I received a good education and became a man of the world. I left England in 1959 at the age of 25, and have lived in various countries over the years. I am in my early eighties as I write this monograph.
